Engine stall while shift into reverse?
hey there guys,
my car is a 1993 R1 5 speed FD. Everything works fine, idles fine, nothing wrong with it when i first start the car( wont stall when i put into reverse)...but...when i take the car out and let it sit there for awhile, come back, start the car(still idles fine, and starts up right away no problem).... BUT when I shift into reverse, the RPM would drop and stall. anyone experience similar problem?? This really bothers me....any help would be appreciated....thanks.

Questions 3
Does it stall just like you turned off the key?
Does it stall after you have backed up and push in the clutch or just by sitting still and pushin in the clutch and putting it in reverse?
Do reverse lights work?

Ahah, I bet it's your turbo timer unit / harness !
I have at least two friends with the same problems with their 180SX
Don't remember exactly why, but they were stalling in the same conditions !

Sounds more like an electrical issue relating to the reverse switch. Try unplug the reverse switch on the gearbox and see if the problem is still there. If not, I would say there is possibly a short in the wiring causing a massive current draw when the reverse switch is opened, or its saying something funny to the ECU.

methinks 5th gear and reverse wiring is mixed around
OP,, put the car in 5th gear and see if it activates your reverse lights

I have the same problem, i mean my engine doesnt stall but it would rev up and down when i only put reverse in ( clutch still pressed ).
I will test it again when i put my engine back into the body.

There are a lot of wires in a loom and if something stupid like a tyre has rubbed on the loom and caused a short, all manner of weird **** can happen.
You say that the car only stalls out when its warm...is that correct? so it will go into reverse when cold no problems at all?
Could you get a vid of the issue up on youtube or something?
